Description Marek Mahut 2011-09-27 12:30:32 UTC 
A warning message of libguestfs alerting about missing /dev/kvm makes the virt-p2v client fail the transfer.

 virt-p2v-server returned an error: open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory

Please make it possible to use virtualized server for the p2v server.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:21:30 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-18 11:16:50 UTC 
Virt-v2v needs to run on the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux release
to ensure it can correctly read and modify new guest filesystem
features.  A new version of virt-v2v is now available for RHEL 7.1.

Before RHEL 7.1 is released, follow the instructions here to
install unsupported preview packages on top of RHEL 7.0:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html

After RHEL 7.1 is released, virt-v2v will be available in
Technical Preview.

You can run virt-v2v in a single virtual machine.  Other
requirements are covered here:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#resource-requirements

If you find a missing feature or bug in the new version of virt-v2v
please file a bug using the following link:
